Animals Asia Foundation

About the charity

Animals Asia Foundation is an Asian-focused British-registered organisation with headquarters in Hong Kong and offices in Australia, China, Germany, Italy, the UK, USA and Vietnam, and Moon Bear Rescue Centres in China and Vietnam. 

We have three flagship programmes:

1. End Bear Farming is aimed at bringing the barbaric practice of bear farming and the bile trade to an end. We have signed agreements with both the Chinese and Vietnamese governments to rescue a total of 700 bears from the torture of bile farms, and bring them to our sanctuaries to live out their lives in peace and safety. 
2. Cat and Dog Welfare campaigns for a better life for cats and dogs by encouraging responsible dog and cat ownership, working with provincial governments in China towards ending culling, through our Friends or Food campaign to end cat and dog eating in Asia and with Animal Therapy through our pioneering Dr Dog and Professor Paws programmes, which operate in 10 Asian cities.
3. Action against Cruelty includes our Captive Bear Care, Chinese Zoos and Safari Parks and Wildlife Consumption campaigns. We lobby government departments at all levels for long-term comprehensive legislation to protect animals, as well as bring about positive change today.
